William Burroughs 7786 Limited Ed HC Book 1st Ed w/ Prints naked lunch junkie

Description: The Burroughs, Wm - 7786 Book Project was launched in 2015 on Kickstarter and gathered nearly $10k in pledges. I am the original publisher of the book which sold out very quickly, with the majority of the books going to pledges. I recently discovered a small cache of stashed books and boxed sets. I've opened one edition to show you here but the edition you receive will be sealed. This is a limited to 50 book case edition. It includes:1x Embossed Book Case1x Regular Stamped Edition (/100) 1x Limited Hand Stamped Cover Edition (/100)1x Hixon Studios Booklet1x Hixon Studios Postcard Set1x Burroughs Postcard Set1x Sml Silver Photo Print1x Med Silver Print1x Burroughs Transparency This is a limited edition book with a forward from Burroughs historian Victor Bockris. Project info The 7786 - Burroughs, Wm. print project presents a unique look at one of the most iconic, brilliant, controversial and subversive authors of the 20th Century. Discovered amongst a photo archive of more than 20,000 negatives, this previously unseen series of William Burroughs portraits gives us a rare and intimate glimpse at Burroughs and explores the concepts of iconography and identity performance. Presented in a small-format hardcover photo book, this project asks readers to think about choices made by Burroughs while in the studio and his selection of a single portrait for use in promoting an upcoming personal appearance. This book dissects the image of a cultural icon and exposes a process in the creation and perpetuation of celebrity image. I recovered the last remaining archive of Lawrence-based photographer Robert “Bob” Blank in summer 2014. Blank owned and operated Hixon Studios in Lawrence for more than 40 years, having purchasing it from Orval Hixon in 1930. Blank operated the Hixon Photo and Camera Shop at 721 Massachusetts Street until its closure in the 1990’s. The archive includes portraits of some recognizable Lawrence personalities. Local real estate developer and KU alumnus Bob Billings and former Miss America Deb Bryant were among them. Also discovered were seven previously unseen portrait negatives of author, and longtime Lawrence resident William S. Burroughs. Regarded as one of the most subversive authors of the 20th Century, he was a member of the Beat Generation along with Ginsberg and Kerouac. His most notorious book Naked Lunch is a regular on “must read” and banned book lists. STORE POLICIESPlease look closely at the item photos. Our photos are the best indication of condition.
